Land on Terra Ceia Island rarely comes to market, and a parcel with this much size and flexibility is rarer still. This 2.27-acre tract (98,707 SF) sits at the corner of US Highway 19 and Ken Hubbard Road, with approximately 166 feet along the US 19 right-of-way and 161 feet on Ken Hubbard Road for a quiet residential entrance. At roughly 645 feet deep, the parcel lets you set your home well back from the highway behind your own buffer of land, while keeping the convenience of US 19 at the edge of the property. Terra Ceia is one of the most desirable addresses in Manatee County, and it earns that reputation. The island has held onto its Old Florida character and agricultural roots, with a small, close-knit community that has avoided the dense development seen across much of the Suncoast. Surrounded by Terra Ceia Bay, the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve, and nearly 2,000 acres of protected preserve land, the setting is one that simply cannot be recreated. At the same time, you are minutes from the southern foot of the Sunshine Skyway and I-275, with St. Petersburg, Tampa, Bradenton, and Anna Maria Island all within easy reach. Zoned RSF-1 (single-family residential) with a RES-1 future land use designation, the property is suited for a private estate home with room for a pool, a detached garage or workshop, gardens, or simply open space between you and your neighbors. Bring your builder and your vision. Acreage on Terra Ceia Island does not come along often.

Terra Ceia, located between Terra Ceia Bay and the Manatee River, is a waterfront and rural Memphis neighborhood with mangrove-lined shorelines and wide-open pastureland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Terra Ceia Bridge on US-19, where bait shops, boat ramps, and roadside seafood counters set a working-waterfront tone. Low-slung ranch homes and older Florida cottages sit along shell roads, with docks and canals shaping daily routines. Terra Ceia Preserve State Park frames the landscape with boardwalks and birdlife. The Terra Ceia Village Improvement Association and the annual Terra Ceia Mullet Smoke-Off anchor local tradition. Evenings track the tide line, with kayaks and skiffs moving through quiet backwaters.
